Event Timeline

In the future FreeBSD will have ip(8) or it's analogue. Mentioning now these temporary -o -O in netstat(1) will probably bring more harm than benefit, so the -o and -O options should remain as options for insiders.

In the future FreeBSD will have ip(8) or it's analogue.

I hope not. Last year Alexander had conducted a poll in our local group, and while it's not 100% representative, vast majority of votes were to preserve the status quo. I won't mind (or care) having something like ip(8) in ports, but please don't plague the base system with this linuxish filth.
